Help

Not Trained in Disarm Weapon
Usage:
    DISARM {object}     - Attempt to find or disarm a trap on {object}
    DISARM {LEFT|RIGHT} - Attempt to find or disarm a trap on the object in the specified hand
    DISARM QUIET        - Use short, demeanor-based messaging when disarming a trap
    DISARM FULL         - Use detailed messaging when disarming a trap

Only closed and locked containers and doors may be disarmed.  If a trap has already been found on the item, and on no other item since, there is a window of opportunity of several minutes in which to attempt removal of the trap.  Some traps are dangerous to bystanders if detonated, so care should be taken when attempting this, especially within legal jurisdiction, as local law enforcement will arrest those who kill others, even unintentionally.
